• Midfielder impressed again in 4-2 victory over BATE Borisov• ‘I have always been at Arsenal, of course I want to stay’

Jack Wilshere looks a player determined to grasp every moment of football he is offered this season, and his mini renaissance since returning to fitness and the fold at Arsenal makes him want to commit to the club for the long term.

Wilshere’s contract expires at the end of this season and given his injury history he is doing everything in his power to ensure he prolongs a connection that dates back to boyhood. “Do I see myself staying? Of course I do,” he says. “I have always been at Arsenal, I love this club. They have been good to me over the years, I have a great relationship with the boss. He has played me since I was 17. He has put his trust in me since then. We have a great understanding and of course I want to stay.”

The Arsenal manager weighs up the ‘hungry and determined’ midfielder as part of a rotation policy for group game against Cologne

Arsène Wenger did not hide from the Champions League on Tuesday night. “Yes I watched‚” he admitted. “I watched a few games and the main game, of course, was Chelsea. After a while I went to Barcelona against Juventus. It raises many questions about the Champions League, the way it is organised now. We will certainly have to think about it.” What issues? Think about what? “We will speak about it another time.”

Such was the way the Arsenal manager teased as he vacated London Colney on Wednesday afternoon. Europe’s premier trophy still transfixes the man who has qualified for the competition on 21 separate occasions. Wenger being Wenger, he also cannot help but suggest that things could be done better. The details, it seems, will have to wait for another time. Until then, Arsenal have other things to think about.

• Arsenal midfielder has slipped down the pecking order• Wilshere recently sent off for Arsenal Under-23s against Manchester City

Arsène Wenger has made it plain he is open to offers for Jack Wilshere before the transfer deadline next Thursday. The Arsenal manager also suggested if Wilshere stays at the club, the onus would be on him to prove he deserves a new contract. The midfielder’s deal expires next summer.

Wenger is under pressure to trim the number of senior players in his squad from 28 – the Premier League limit is 25 – but there has been little interest in Wilshere, 25, who is working to regain full fitness after fracturing a fibula last April, during his season-long loan at Bournemouth. Wilshere was sent off for Arsenal Under‑23s against Manchester City on Monday night, after reacting badly to a late tackle.

• Arsenal midfielder sees red along with City defender Tyreke Wilson • Wilshere in final year at club after Bournemouth loan and broken leg

Jack Wilshere was sent off after being involved in a mass brawl during the Arsenal under-23 match against Manchester City at the Emirates Stadium.

Wilshere has yet to play for the first team this season, having spent the last one on loan at Bournemouth, but is now fit following his recovery from a fracture to the lower left leg suffered during Bournemouth’s 4-0 defeat at Spurs in April.

Jack Wilshere’s season is over after Bournemouth confirmed the player had suffered a fracture of his left leg.

The midfielder, on loan from Arsenal, was injured in a collision with the Tottenham striker Harry Kane. An x-ray ruled out a break but a second scan has picked up a hairline fracture to the left fibula.

• Manchester City cut gap at top to eight points with 2-0 win• City manager hoping for positive update on his new signing

Pep Guardiola vowed to “pray” for Gabriel Jesus’s swift recovery after the Brazilian striker suffered a foot injury in the victory at Bournemouth as Manchester City rose to second in the table and to within eight points of the leaders, Chelsea.

Jesus, a £27m signing from Palmeiras last month, has made an eye-catching start to his career in the Premier League but lasted only 15 minutes here after landing awkwardly and calling for treatment. The 19-year-old duly hobbled down the touchline to be replaced by Sergio Agüero, who would go on to force home the visitors’ second goal off Tyrone Mings, just after the hour to secure City a fourth successive win in all competitions.
